WHY JESS DITCHED THE SCALES

THE STAR IS DONE WEIGHING HERSELF AND EMBRACING HER NEW-FOUND BODY CONFIDENCE

Her weight has been the subject of much fascination and scrutiny in her 20-plus years in the public eye, but Jessica Simpson no longer cares what the scales say – so much so, she’s thrown them out! The 40-year-old recently opened up about her body image struggles over the years, admitting in an interview that she’s not focused on the number on the scales. “I have no idea how much I weigh,” she told (US) Today show. “I’ve really tried my hardest to not let that define me.”

“There is a wonderful movement for body positivity now and the response to that portion of my story has been overwhelmingly supportive,” she gushed.

“How I looked playing Daisy was held up as the gold standard,” Simpson said of the 2005 film.
